As you start making your Thanksgiving week preparations, you may also be thinking about decorating for Christmas and the rest of the holiday season. I’m more of a minimalist when it comes to holiday decorating. In case you don’t already know, I think there is beauty in simplicity. So if you’re stuck or just need some tips on how to decorate your home for the holidays, and if you’re looking to make things simple but beautiful…read on. I’ve also added some inspiration photos for you to help you visualize everything.

Fall is here, and it’s starting to feel a little like it outside. There’s something about the cooler weather that makes me want to crawl up on the porch and inhale a good book for an entire day. Iced coffees are swapped for steaming hot ciders. Ice cream is exchanged for hot, gooey pies. And plans are being made to spend the holidays with family. But what if you are wanting to throw a fall party? Maybe you’re wanting to have some friends over for a fall dinner and game night? Or maybe you’re wanting throw an adult Halloween party. I’ve gathered some ideas to make your fall party next level.

Last week I shared how to gather inspiration for any design project you are working on, whether it’s wedding design, interior design, or any other event design. This week I want to share some examples of how a few of those inspiration boards (and a bonus board!) came to life… what they ended up looking like in reality.

As mentioned in this post, one of the things we love most about wedding and event planning is the design aspect. We love design, and we love creating inspiration boards and mood boards for each design project we direct, whether it’s an inspiration photo shoot, a wedding, or even helping someone with the design of a room in their house.

Coming up with inspiration can be daunting and overwhelming if you don’t have a plan. So today, we’re going to let you peek in on our inspiration process.
